The 2024 Guiraud, now under the aegis of winemaker Sandrine Garbay, contains 124 g/L of residual sugar and was picked from September 20 with four tries through the vines. It has a very assured and detailed bouquet with wild honey, peach and light apricot scents, with a touch of vanilla pod tucked underneath. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a keen line of acidity, gaining weight as it moves toward the clementine-tinged finish. What a gorgeous Guiraud! ~94-96 Neal Martin, Vinous Media

Strong golden yellow, silver reflections. Floral nuances of apricot and yellow peach,  inviting honey touch. Powerful, white stone fruit, fresh structure, clear sweet nesson the finish, fine wood nuances on the aftertaste, has polish and definite ageing potential. ~95 Falstaff

Dark burnt orange gold, spiralling white flower aromatics, this is great quality, thoroughly enjoyable, subtle spiced cumin and tumeric, sweetly succulent apricot and nectarine juice without being heavy. 12.6 hl/ha yield, Sandrine Garbay estate director. ~94 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
